Lake Minnetonka boat

[Pirate Lady]

Last winter. Anyone ever find out what happened to the boat up there that was hauled out and stuck on a ramp? Was supposed to go to Orleans. Just curious.

 

[Dave - M]

I wondered that myself from time to time. I found a you tube video from April showing it sitting on the hard, not sure where. Rumor was it was going to be scrapped but apparently that is not the case. Whatever marine business it's at is moving and the boat is going to be moved as well

Yeah, the thing was eventually moved from the launch ramp to a place down the street -- maybe a mile or less, I think. The eventual plan was supposedly to move it to Lake Superior. Last I saw, it was being disassemble for a move, but not sure where. I think the place it was moved to, was going to move as well. You can youtube turbine guy to see if there are updates.

Turbine guy! Ohh man...that was a fun few days waiting for his streams to start, watch it all unfold. Betting on whether or not the straps would break, someone would lose a leg, or the boat would fall off the trailer. Internet gold...

I saw an update somewhere over the summer and I thought it had never left the shop where it was moved to.

Yeah, those videos were like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

He’s moving because that area is a high rent/tax area. (Minnetonka, Hennipen county and MN) Over the last decade or so MN and it’s more urban area counties have decided it’s better to be hostile towards small businesses through taxation, and then redistribute that money for social programs.
